these are a few of my favorite things...

i have to confess that these photos were not taken this season, or even this spring. i think they are from the fall actually - a day when kate and i took the boys (more like she took the boys and me) to the glen rock arboretum. she already had her new camera at that point so she handed off her old one for me to start using and "practicing" (i say practicing because she and adam generously gave it to jay and i for christmas).

but these photos do represent something that i do love - the outdoors. nature. plants. perennials, shrubs and trees. i love being among them, i loved selling them, i love designing their perfect spots and locations in a landscape.

it makes sense, then, that i would use this love and turn it into a career...or soon to be. jay and i are working towards developing a landscape design company. it is all very exciting. i have been playing around and practicing using the program i will design with - dynascape. dynascape design, dynascape color, and eventually dynascape sketch 3D. that is right folks. soon you will be able to see my designs in a 3D format. (i guess that is really just 2D until it is an actual landscape)

i am very excited about this endeavor. alongside this endeavor i am also beginning a new job. i have been unemployed for just over 17 months and now i am stepping back into the work world. i will be employed by paul keys associates doing very similar work to my past job, except that it is landscape exclusive.

new endeavors. new stages in life. new schedules and routines (not to mention that i will have to be in tenafly by about 7:15am). it is all new to me, which could and can be scary at times, but i won't let the unknowns and fears take hold. it is new, but God is still the same. He is faithful. He is present. He goes with me and before me.
